Mobile FeliCa RF Performance Certification Specification Ver.2.83

1. Purpose of the Certification Test
The certification test is intended to establish shared communication performance standards for FeliCa
equipment and to create a mechanism for enhancing interconnectivity between FeliCa equipment. The
overriding purpose of the certification test is to enable service providers and end users to receive the full
benefit of services using FeliCa technology with assurance.

2. Positioning of the Certification Test
The standards defined for the certification test do not certify the interoperability of marketed FeliCa
equipment.
The certification test verifies product samples submitted by manufacturers in a testing environment
specified for the certification test to determine whether the samples meet the communication
performance standards defined for the certification test.
Therefore, achieving passing results in the certification test does not mean that all of the products in thesame product series have been tested and have passed the certification test.
Warranties on the products tested shall conform to the warranty conditions originally established by theindividual manufacturers.

3. Products to Be Tested
3.1. Products Subject to Testing
The certification test is intended for mobile products, in which FeliCa IC certified by FeliCa Networks isembedded.

3.2. Product Models to Be Tested
Applicants for product testing must submit each model of a product for the certification test.

3.3. Updated Products
A manufacturer must resubmit a product that has already passed the certification test if any hardware
or software modifications that might affect FeliCa RF communication performance or basic sequence
processing capability or both have been made to the product.

3.4. Addition of Product Models
When a manufacturer adds a new product model to a product series whose models have already passed
the certification test, the manufacturer need not to apply the new model for certification testing if it has
the same RF communication performance and basic sequence processing capability as the product thathas already passed the certification test and the manufacturer can guarantee the fact. Instead, themanufacturer is only required to apply an Added Product Model for the new model.
For details, see 4.6Addition of Product Models.

Materials to be submitted・

Test samples:


Three

units

of

the

product

being

tested(one

maximum-frequency

sample,one

standard-frequency sample, and one minimum-frequency sample). However, for products with acontinuous operation time of 1 hour or more and 2 hours or less in the certification test, add one
more unit for each frequency and therefore submit a total of six units.
At least one of the above three or six units of the product is formatted for mobile terminal
evaluation for Basic Sequence Test. Please specify the product formatted for mobile
terminal evaluation.



For the format for mobile terminal evaluation, contact FeliCa Networks, Inc.



Since the certification test requires continuous operation for more than 1 hour, thecertification may be refused or discontinued for products with continuous operation for lessthan 1 hour.

Handling of measurement methods and results when a total of six units are submitted

Under 2.04 of the Attachment A: Terms and Conditions, all production lots of thesubject products that have passed the certification are deemed to meet the Mobile
FeliCa RF Performance specification. Since the two resonant frequencies submitted
are treated as the same performance, the laboratory selects one of each resonant
frequency for evaluation in combination with the test reader/writer. The number ofsamples used for combinatorial evaluation and pass/fail judgment will not differ fromthe case when three units are submitted.

There will be two test samples at each resonant frequency in the laboratory, but even
if the measurement result of one arbitrarily used sample is fail, additional tests or
repeat tests using the other sample will not be conducted.

Battery Charger: Three or Six units according to the submitted sampleAccessories: Three or Six units according to the submitted sample* Submit to the Certification Laboratory after your application was accepted.

is a trademark of FeliCa Networks, Inc.
Figure 5-2 Measurement Center Point of the Test Sample
The measurement center point of the testing reader/writer is described in 6.2Measuring
the Center Point, X-Axis Direction, and Y-Axis Direction of Testing Reader/Writer.
Angle

The 0-degree direction of the test sample is the longitudinal direction specified by theapplicant (product manufacturer).
The 90-degree direction is the direction that results from a 90-degree clockwise rotationfrom the 0-degree direction.

X axis, Y axis

The X axis is the axis that passes through the measurement center point and is parallelto the lines in the 0-degree direction. The positive direction of the X axis is the 0-degree
direction. The Y axis is the axis that passes through the measurement center point andis perpendicular to the lines in the 0-degree direction.
The positive directions of the X and Y axes of the testing reader/writer are described in

6.2Measuring the Center Point, X-Axis Direction, and Y-Axis Direction of Testing
Reader/Writer.
CenterIn centering, the communication distance measuring tool is used to align themeasurement center point of the test sample with that of the testing reader/writer.

OffsetOffset refers to moving the test sample in the X-axis direction (or Y-axis direction)parallel to the X axis (or Y axis).

Maximum
communication distance

When the test sample and the testing reader/writer are moved closer together during
measurement, the maximum communication distance is the distance at which thespecified success rate is first obtained.

Communicati
on holeA communication hole is an area whose success rate is less than the specified level at a
distance from 0mm to the maximum communication distance.
Communication holes do not include areas with a width of less than 1mm.
Note, however, that even an area with a width of less than 1 mm is regarded as acommunication hole if the measured success rate of the area is below the specified level
when the test sample is positioned at a distance of 0mm from the end-productreader/writer.

Success rate

The success rate is the ratio of successful communications to the number of Pollingcommand executions. Unless otherwise specified, the success rate requirement specified
for the certification test is at least 99% (communication must be successful at least 99
times while the Polling command is executed 100 times).

Sequence-ena
bled area

Area in which the sequence is successful five times in a row between the 0mm height tothe maximum communication distance.
An area in which the sequence is not successful and is 1mm wide or more is notregarded as a sequence-enabled area.

5.4. Communication Performance Measurement Procedure
Measurement conditions
To ensure stable measurement results, the test will begin 10 minutes after the testing reader/writer isturned on.
Also, the test will be conducted in an environment that eliminates effects caused by metallic objects,
electrical interference, and other factors on FeliCa RF communication performance.

Measuring the communication distance and communication holes(1) The test sample will be placed stably on the measuring surface of the testing reader/writer in close
contact with the surface while its measurement center point is aligned with that of the testing
reader/writer. The distance of the test sample in this position will be treated as 0mm. If the test
sample cannot be placed in close contact with the measuring surface of the testing reader/writer, thetest sample will be positioned on a plane that extends from the measuring surface of the testing
reader/writer, creating the effect of close contact with the measuring surface.
(2) The position of the test sample will be adjusted for centering, offset, and rotation.
(3) The communication distance measurement tool will be used to move the test sample to a position
where it exceeds the maximum communication distance.
(4) The communication performance measurement software will be used to execute the Pollingcommand from the testing reader/writer.
(5) The communication distance measurement tool will be used to move the test sample downward inorder to determine the maximum communication distance.
(6) The test sample will be moved from the maximum communication distance to a distance of 0mm in
1mm steps to locate any communication holes.
(7) Measurement RF performance:
Steps (2) to (6) will be repeated until measurement at all measurement points has been completed.
(8) Measurement basic sequence processing capability:
The communication distance measurement tool will be used to position the test sample at the
maximum communication distance.
(9) The sequence software will be used to execute the sequence from the testing reader/writer.
(10) The communication distance measurement tool will be used to move the test sample downward fromthe maximum communication distance to a distance of 0mm in 1mm steps to determine thesequence-enabled area.
